Configuring the Project for CppUTest

• Edit your project's properties (right-click, properties)
• Select C/C++ Build:Settings

Include Directories

• Under GCC C++ Compiler:Includes enter the include directory of CppUTest.
  • Click the page with the green plus.
  • Select File system...
  • Enter or search to the directory. For my install location, the directory is: C:\workspaces\CppUTest2_1\includes.

CppUTest Library

• Under MinGW C++ Linker:Libraries, enter both a library path as well as a library
• Under Libraries (-l), click on the page with a green plus
• Enter the name of the library (minus "lib" and ".lib"): CppUTest

Library Path

• Under Library search path (-L), click on the page with a green plus
• Enter the directory where the library is located. On my machine it is C:\workspaces\CppUTest2_1\lib
• Click OK

Update main

You won't notice any changes unless you use CppUTest.

• CppUTest uses the main() to execute its tests. So update the file with main() (CppUTestHasItsSmoke.cpp):

#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    return CommandLineTestRunner::RunAllTests(argc, argv);
}

• You can run your program as a Local C++ Application again:

OK (0 tests, 0 ran, 0 checks, 0 ignored, 0 filtered out, 0 ms)

Alternative main()

If you'd like to see a list of tests and the time each takes to run, you can either:

• Provide command-line arguments when you run the program in Eclipse
• Use an updated main to make it happen every time:

#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>
 
int main() {
    const char* args[] = { "", "-v" };
    return CommandLineTestRunner::RunAllTests(2, args);
}
